Fractions (Year 4)
To calculate one quarter of a number, we divide by 4.

Fractions (Year 4)

Year 4 Maths builds on fractions by showing how to find parts of numbers and shapes. Pupils explore equivalent fractions and practise using them in real-life situations.

Fascinating Fact:

In baking, if a recipe needs ¾ of a cup of sugar and you only have a ¼ cup scoop, you need to fill it three times.

In KS2 Maths, Year 4 pupils learn more about fractions by finding equivalent values, comparing fractions, and using them to solve practical problems in everyday contexts.

  • Equivalent Fractions: Fractions that represent the same value, like 1/2 and 2/4.
  • Mixed Number: A number made from a whole number and a fraction, such as 1 1/2.
  • Proper Fraction: A fraction where the numerator is smaller than the denominator, like 3/5.
What are equivalent fractions in Year 4?

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that show the same value. For example, 2/4 is the same as 1/2.

How do pupils use fractions in Year 4?

Pupils use fractions to compare amounts, find fractions of numbers, and solve real problems, such as measuring in recipes.

What is a mixed number?

A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction, such as 2 1/3, which means two whole parts and one third.

1 .
Which of these is NOT equivalent to 1⁄2?
2⁄4
3⁄6
2⁄3
4⁄8
2?3 is more than 1?2
2 .
What is one tenth of 30?
3
6
10
20
To calculate one tenth we divide by 10
3 .
If we divide a number by 3 the result will be?
1⁄4
1⁄10
1⁄6
1⁄3
9 ÷ 3 = 3 so 1?3 of 9 = 3
4 .
Which is the smallest of these fractions?
1⁄4
1⁄8
1⁄20
1⁄6
If the numbers above the line are equal then the fraction with the highest number below the line is smaller
5 .
Which represents one eighth?
1⁄4
1⁄8
1⁄20
1⁄5
1?8 is the same as 1 divided by 8
6 .
Which of these fractions is equivalent to 3⁄4?
2⁄3
6⁄10
4⁄6
6⁄8
6 ÷ 2 = 3 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4 so 3?4 is the same as 6?8
7 .
Which of these fractions is equivalent to one quarter?
2⁄8
1⁄3
3⁄6
2⁄5
One eighth is half of one quarter so two eighths is equivalent to one quarter
8 .
How do we calculate one quarter of a number?
Divide by 2
Multiply by 4
Divide by 4
Multiply by 2
16 ÷ 4 = 4 so 1?4 of 16 is 4
9 .
Which fraction is the greatest?
4⁄10
5⁄6
2⁄3
11⁄20
5?6 is 1?6 less than 1
10 .
Which fraction is greater than 1⁄2?
1⁄4
5⁄10
2⁄6
11⁄20
10?20 is equivalent to 1?2 so 11?20 must be more
